Precious Bane by Mary Webb

4.0

It took me a while to get into this book and especially to get used to the dialect. But what a beautifully tragic book! I love Prue Sarn for being a true hero against all odds. The story itself made me think of Thomas Hardy (and a little of The Scarlet Letter and maybe a bit of The Crucible), although it feels very original. It is definitely worth searching for.
